The Fallen Cycle Mythos fiction podcast

We Are All Just Costumes Death Wears For A Season.
Loki finally gives Lilith what she’s been pushing for: scale. Organize in cells, keep each group small, and let the structure multiply faster than anyone can shut it down. A month later, the theory becomes a field in the woods, packed with tents, teenagers, and a barn so crowded it feels like peak Burning Man. Babylon plays, and the response is immediate. The chant begins before the first song starts, and continues after they’ve left the stage.

Lilith pulls the band out of their post-show bliss, gathers new loyalists, and takes them straight into a four-star hotel like it’s already theirs. In the suite, she starts selecting who stays close and who gets turned away. By the time the door opens again, she’s offering a mark, a name, and a place inside her fast-growing cult. 

Next stop, apocalypse.

Johny is losing time. His thoughts jump tracks, his memories come back twisted and tangled, and the “Op” starts to feel less like a joke and more like a trap he agreed to without noticing. He replays conversations with Bradley and starts to question his sanity. Stella should be safety, but even her silence feels loaded. Then a detail he’s ignored for years becomes impossible to unsee: Stella’s monarch tattoo.

The nights turn into fragments and dreams bleed into waking. Faces shift, names don’t stick, and Bradley’s voice keeps showing up where it shouldn’t. Johny wakes to a phone call that starts as nonsense and snaps into a single instruction. When he looks outside, the sky has turned the color of an apocalypse.

We Are All Just Costumes Death Wears For A Season.
Fresh off their escape, Dionysus and the others duck into a roadside bar to hide and regroup. Instead they meet Lilith, a redheaded woman who can take over a room without raising her voice. Soon she has them on stage, turning their panic into a set and the crowd into something louder and stranger than a normal show. People don’t just cheer. They move together, as if they’ve been waiting for a cue for bacchanal.

Afterward, Lilith names the thing they’re apparently building: Babylon. 

Knowing that they’re still fugitives, they stop improvising and start organizing. They steal a mobile broadcast rig, repaint it, and make it their rolling base of operations. Later, Dionysus hits record on an open transmission, and for the first time in a while their story isn’t confined to one room.

Back in 2011, Johny tries to keep his life with Stella intact, pretending Bradley’s call was meaningless. Then an email arrives from “Agent 156.” It reads like a prank questionnaire, but it’s an instruction set: coded language, cell-talk, and a directive to meet at the King of Prussia mall. Johny tells himself it’s performance art with a little paranoia baked in.

At the mall, he’s in a bumble-bee patterned hazmat suit waving a homemade scanner over strangers while other “agents” act out their own variations of bureaucratic menace. It plays like theater until the response is real: shouting, SWAT gear, a crowd that turns on a dime. Johny runs, tossing pieces of his costume, and still ends up on the floor in handcuffs.

We Are All Just Costumes Death Wears For A Season.
Adam Trevino comes home suspended after his run-in with Nyssa over a year previous (the machinations of bureaucracy are slow) and tries to disappear into an ordinary night. Then he hears the message on his answering machine: he’s been appointed a Special Deputy U.S. Marshal and ordered to report at 7:00 a.m. to Room 101. 

On the news, footage from Pennhurst paints Dionysus and Jesus as unstable patients who staged a violent breakout and took a hostage. Trevino watches the broadcast and catches what it leaves out.

In a federal building basement, three near-identical suits lay out the real assignment. They hand him a classified file, tell him Loki is still out, and make it clear the escape is not the whole story. Trevino’s job is to watch, map the connections, and wait for the moment they can cut this budding insurrectionary network at the throat.
